Wednesday Evening Scripture-Communion Services during Advent
Being able to receive Eucharist mid-week is a real boost for me! And, a wonderful way to prepare for the Christmas celebration of the birth of our Lord!
On the 3rd & 17th the service will be right before (and we promise to not go over 1/2-hour) the monthly KofC meeting.
I hope to see many of my Brother Knights and families there!
...God's Blessings, Deacon Ken
Social Meeting
Learn about the Knights of Columbus
Thanks to the efforts of Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven and some of his parishioners, the Connecticut state legislature on March 29, 1882, officially chartered the Knights of Columbus as a fraternal benefit society. The Order is still true to its founding principles of charity, unity and fraternity.
The Knights was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works.
The history of the Order shows how the foresight of Father Michael J. McGivney, whose cause for sainthood is being investigated by the Vatican, brought about what has become the world's foremost Catholic fraternal benefit society. The Order has helped families obtain economic security and stability through its life insurance, annuity and long-term care programs, and has contributed time and energy worldwide to service in communities.
The Knights of Columbus has grown from several members in one council to more than 13,000 councils and 1.7 million members throughout the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, Poland, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Cuba, Guatemala, Guam and Saipan.
Star Council Award Ceremony and Dinner
The Star Council Award, given by the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council to a small selection of councils across the world, recognizes outstanding achievement in membership, insurance and Service Program activities.
The council took this opportunity to make two presentations of its own. Scott Stewart presented a check for $674 to the local president of the Society of St. Vincent De Paul on behalf of the Council. The donated money is the Council's share of the proceeds from the State Raffle tickets which were sold by our council members.
Insurance field agent Jay Eisele presented an annuity certificate totaling $300 on behalf of the Council to our Worthy Chaplain and pastor Rev. Father John Allt.
After mass, Council officers treated our guests to dinner at Buddy's Grill in Rita Ranch.
